Continuing Professional Development Student Experiences of Online Learning It was unbelievably rewarding doing an online course after being out of education for a few years. I found I had a renewed thirst for learning. After one year I didn’t have enough, so I signed up for the Level 9 Diploma, and in the autumn of this year. I hope to graduate with a Master’s in Biopharmaceutical Science. For anyone thinking one, two or three years is too long, the best advice I got was: “The time passes by anyway, whether you are doing a course or not.” Frances Doherty, MSc in Biopharmaceutical Science, IT Sligo
The lectures are very interactive. If you email lecturers or other students in your course, they are more than willing to help. I have a whole community of support, most of whom I have never met!
I was fortunate to be accepted on the LYIT Emerging Technologies for Industry program. I have always had a keen interest in technology and working in the Tech industry has been a dream of mine. Having been out of studies for a few years I was apprehensive as to how it would go being fully remote and twice per week in the evenings.

It was a wonderful experience, the content and subjects covered were of the highest quality. The online learning portal worked flawlessly. All of our lecturers were knowledgeable, supportive and engaging. Completing this course gave me the opportunity to change careers by giving me the knowledge I needed to work in the Tech industry.
